After university, He Hongmei didn't choose to work in a big city, but returned to her hometown with her husband. Upon her return, she became a middle school teacher in a local school, and her husband took up a role as a town official. Over the years, they had a daughter and lived quite comfortably. Many said that it was practically a matter of time before her husband would be transferred to the county town.
He Hongmei's husband and in-laws were easy to get along with. But because they were so understanding, He Zhongguo didn't want to trouble He Hongmei. Once Li Chunhua finds out that he borrowed money from Hen Chunmei, she would blame He Hongmei for not considering her brother and sister-in-law, making things difficult for He Hongmei.
He Teng understood what his father was worried about and said reassuringly, "Dad, don't worry. Tomorrow, I'll head to town myself and approach my aunt. Auntie will never find out."
